I was complaining to a friend about my insomnia a few months ago. (I've had it ever since I can remember)
My friend said he used to suffer from insomnia but is now cured. He told me a method for falling asleep that I thought I'd pass on, because it seems to be working for me, too.
I thought it might work well for SP'ers. So, I pass it on. Here goes:
As your falling asleep, pretend your going down a spiral staircase. Along the wall there is a door. Open the door. Imagine your looking out over a landscape - a field of tall grass, the waves crashing on the beach, the snowy mountains, a meadow, a glacier stream - anything. (This part should be easy for Sp'ers!) When your done looking at the scene, close the door, go down the staircase and open the second door. There you will find a whole different landscape. Rarely do I get past 3 doors.
-Good Luck
